Why doesn't Ruger bring back their police carbine?

Not to hijack Tom's thread here, but I don't see why some canny manufacturer like Ohio Ordnance couldn't build a replica of the M3A1 "Grease Gun" without a stock and with no provision for attaching one. It would have to fire semiauto from a closed bolt, of course, but they seem to have solved that problem with their BAR replica.

Me Auld Man was a whiz with a grease gun, and he said he never used the dinky wire stock. IIRC, he shot it from what resembled the "protected point" handgun position, held about mid chest height with his right wrist against his rib cage and his left on the mag housing. He could fire single shots by tapping the trigger and roll quart oil cans across the yard.

With a laser mounted under the barrel, I'd think the ol' homestead would be well protected with something like that.
